The menace of crime has eaten deep into the fabrics of our society and poses threats to the socio-economic development of the country. It is pertinent to state here that although crime is a global phenomenon, the vulnerabilities and impact tend to differ depending on the strength of the measures each country put in place to combat the menace.
In addition, most developing countries’ response to mitigate crime is still very low due to inadequate crime legislation, limited technology and lack of security experts. The shortage of human capital in security hence becomes a major vulnerability factor in addressing security needs to combat crime and threats emanating from criminals.
In the light of the above, Globe Chamber of commerce and industry introduces World Bilateral Security Expo.
The security program to bring together leading security professionals, experts, telecom companies, policy makers, government, institutions, and stakeholders to brainstorm with a view to proffer solutions to the security challenges that threatens the peace and tranquility of the globe.
While all the security partnerships bring many advantages, they are not always easy to manage. In many instances, certain countries might be friends and partners of other nations, , but they are rivals, or enemies with each other.
Such cases make multilateral engagements difficult for nations . In some instances, it can damage countries ’ influence over an individual country, as it might be perceived that the other country. is favoring the country’s enemy.
These challenges are more evident when it comes to the need to bring a bigger coalition together.
The animosity between different nations . partners makes it difficult to have the coalition function without friction. Depending on the operation, the nation. has been successful in mitigating these differences in certain operations, at least in the theater of operations. Usually, this is done by physically deploying in separate AORs.
The value of bilateral partnerships in the multilateral environment
The countries has quite successfully used multilateral and bilateral partnerships ‘against’ one another, to advance its interests in respective partnerships.
In the United Nations, apart from being a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. can push its agenda by relying on the support of a close bilateral relationship with individual UN member states.
On the other hand, the weight of multilateral partnerships can be used to advance a bilateral partnership. Among many cases, the use of NATO in support of the Baltic countries and Poland, has advanced bilateral partnerships between the U.S. and the aforementioned countries.
Bilateral partnerships can be both geographically, or regionally constrained (U.S. – Japan, or U.S. – South Korea partnerships), or can be global (United Kingdom, Canada).
Among many benefits of such relations is flexibility.
nations can adapt a bilateral partnership to address a time or region-specific interest. This adaptation is difficult in a multilateral environment.
These partnerships are constrained by the established rules, processes, and treaty agreements and changing them to meet the challenge is either too slow or cannot be done at all.
The best use of bilateral and multilateral partnerships is when they can be ‘dual-use’, or complementary to one another.
The case of the U.S.-UK partnership works best for this example. The U.S. ‘uses’ its “special relationship” with the United Kingdom for both bilateral cooperation and action, as well as in the multilateral organizations and partnerships that they are both part of. On the bilateral side, the U.K. has stood by the U.S. in almost all of U.S. global engagement in pursuit of U.S. interests. It does help that the UK’s interests are nearly always aligned with those of the U.S.
Conclusion
The nations needs to try to find a balance between bilateral and multilateral partners
